The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum The PCA Welcomes Biologos to the next General Assembly

John,

I would have to dispute the claims above as far as how widespread FV and aberrant views of the doctrine of creation exist within the PCA and the OPC. The "official" position as reported by the individual presbyteries is no indication of what is actually going on within the PCA. FV and its variations have infiltrated way beyond what the "report" claims. In other words, there are individual elders and teachers within the PCA who have long held to FV(ism) and continue to promote it without reprisal. There was a member here who was attending RTS who was appalled to see several professors there promoting Federal Vision ideas. The Peter Leithart case is but one example of the PCA's failure to discipline someone who holds to FV.

Several times now I have referred people to THIS ARTICLE which I believe is a far more accurate assessment of the problems existing within the PCA. I have read a couple of Dr. Elliot's books and his documentation is impeccable. Most within the PCA will expectedly gloss over the severity of the issues plaguing the denomination so as to not create panic among its members. Some intentionally hide the facts because they are of the "tolerant" ilk or even share a sympathetic attitude with those holding to and/or teaching heresy.

I say again, the PCA, which isn't the only denomination to be singled out, is speeding down the road to apostasy because of its failure to hold fast to the truth once delivered unto the saints and the Westminster Standards and to discipline those who are guilty of the same.

Adding to the problem are those who insist that the denomination only has a minor infection but in truth it has cancer.
